James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.… In an old tower on the Continent they show you, graven again and again on the stones of one of the dungeons, the word "Resist." It is said that a Protestant woman was kept in that hideous place for forty years, and during all that time her employment was in graving with a piece of iron, for any one who might come after her, that word. It is a word that needs to be engraven on every young man and young woman's heart. It represents the highest form of courage which to them is possible — the power to say "No" to every form of temptation. (J. C. Lees, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.WEB: Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
